The Pros And Cons Of Prefab Or Tiled Shower Stalls
If you're remodeling your bathroom the subject of what to do with the shower will come up. Keep your current one, buy a new one, do all the work yourself or buy something pre-made? Those are the basic options available. We'll evaluate the pros and cons.
Prefabricated or Ready-made Shower Stalls
PROS
They're already done, you just pick it up at the home improvement store
It's a faster install than a custom tile application
They're lighter than all the tile a custom job requires, which can be useful in certain situations
They're fairly pliable so if the floor underneath it settles the shower won't crack and look ugly, or more importantly, leak
CONS
They aren't as pretty as a custom tile job, no matter how much decorating you do
There are few design options available, in fact most are plain white
Depending on how its installed and how thick the material is when you stand on the floor it can bend and pop as if you're in a plastic trailer stall
Since they're pre-made they may be the wrong size for your doorway
Custom Tiled Showers
PROS
It's built the way you want so the design options are limitless and you can easily make it fit any available space
A box of tile is easy to fit through small doorways and halls
When you resell the house your buyers will be more impressed by custom tile than they would be a pre-made stall
CONS
Much more expensive, either in dollars or labor
Time consuming for do it yourself project, also much more difficult
The tile can crack if the house hasn't settled yet, or if the floor underneath the shower settles somehow. Replacing that cracked tile can be a hassle. The crack can also create a leak.
